yes because before the dems would screw up and Bush would be blamed because he was in charge. The GOP was punished, not barney frank.

The silver lining is the GOP is forced into finding it’s soul again. Prepare for an ugly extended civil war within the party between the neo-cons/moderate/RINO’s and concervatives.

msm is out of the closet. No more pretend fairness.
Many conservative pundits are not.
Racism is no longer an excuse.

There could be some unexpected bonuses coming down ...

Now that health care, education, housing, plasma TVs, and high-end gaming computers are basic human rights, we should start by posting the names of Community Organizers for each State/City/Zone, get our forms filled out, and learn how to tap into the riches that will be flowing like manna from above. My 60 hours work weeks are a thing of the past. I am ready to get with the program(s).

Unity, Comrades. Yes we can!

Unfortunately we could end up with even more racism when obama screws up.

Really? There was a poll mentioned last week that 50% of the people still thought the GOP ran the House.

There was nothing "good" about this election. Prepare for an unrelenting assault against our liberties. Decide where you stand, if you have not done so already. If you do not own a battle rifle, get one while you can and train while you can. The brown shirts are coming.

This may sound [over]reactionary, but that's the writing on the walls. If they can, the Dems will implement a ban on all semi-automatic rifles (no loopholes) and their high capacity ammunition feeding devices. They will try to be incremental, but it's not clear how radical the Marxist polices of Obama will be. Reid and Pelosi will try to temper him, but power corrupts and the temptations of being in control of the exectutive branch of the US may be too much. His own writings/speeches suggest that he will find ways around the overly restrictive Constitution. Just as the Supreme Court found "emanations and penumbras", he'll find undiscovered resources. If I'm wrong, no harm done--everyone should be prepared. If I'm right, then we're in for a world of hurt. The election of this Marxist is a clear indication that the Republic is dead.

Over the years whenever there's been a situation where the "Democrats return to Washington" their second tier pukes and hangers-on end up moving in around Springfield.

Clinton's crowd were the worst ~ some of them are still on the lam fleeing FBI warrants for all sorts of things.

It'll be the same here. Corzine's arrival will, though, bring us a new challenge ~ AUTHENTIC MAFIOSO.

My first action today is to ask the Acting Chairman of the County Board to please beef up police patrols in Springfield and Franconia 'cause this is gonna' happen real fast.

There is no silver lining. In 2010, the senate class of 2004 is up. That’s where we gained 4 or 5 senate seats. So we’ll be on defense. AGAIN!

I just hope someone rises up in the congressional leadership like a Gingrich to be our voice. Boehner just isn’t doing it.

The biggest shocker to me was Pennsylvania. After all the insults hurled at them by Murtha and BO. After all the NRA ads. They elected both Murtha and BO.

I AM STUNNED.

Chief, Congress has an election in just two years.

I'd rather battle blatant evil than evil disguised as good - I was voting for Sarah, not McCain. McCain would have further weakened our party over time.

Our path is now clear.

I would say that the one silver lining is that Americans will see what happens when socialism reigns.

However, by the time they wake up it will be too late. The Messiah will have granted amnesty and voting rights to 20 or 30 million illegal aliens, guaranteeing a liberal chokehold on elections, especially when an Obama Justice Dept. closes down any and all federal investigations into ACORN. The Fairness Doctrine will be imposed by executive order, crushing conservative dissent as the talk radio industry tanks. The economy will be crushed as well, as it always is by socialism.

If things go down this way, the only thing that will restore democracy is revolution.

This site has turned into a chat room. People have become so self important that a mere thread posting is not enough. They want to be the thread.

In that sense, they are just imitating the MSM.

(oops, now I'm doing it to!)

At least now the masks are off. No more gradualism, moderation, reaching across the isle. Evil must be confronted directly. We must call a spade a spade (oh, sorry, that’s racist, isn’t it). Sic Semper Tyrannus!
